COLUMBUS, o., Nov. 11.-W. A. Taylor,
a newspaper correspondent, sent out from
here the substance OF what purported to
be an interview with Governor Foraker,
to the papers he represents, among them
the New York World, st. Louis Post
Dispatch and Cincinnati Enquirer. In it
the governor was made to say that he
considered the result in Ohio gave him a
'.sure thing on the republican nomina-
tion for the presidency mex year. After
reading it in the Enquirer, Goyerner
Foraker gave the following statement to
the press: What %purported to be an
interview with me, as published in the
Enquirer, is but q tissue of falsehoods
from the alleged salutation given Mr..
Taylor by my wife, at the beginning
of the interview, to the last line of 1t,
with the single exception that Mr..
Taylor did call at my residence, as he
states. There was not one word by me
or by him about Ohio furnishing a candi-
date for the presidency next year.
Justice to myself requires that / should
state what | would not mention under
other circumstances. The fact is that
when Col. Taylor called at my house he
was in such a state of intoxication as to
be a very unpleasant visitor, and l said
as little to him as possible about any
thing, except only to express regret that
he should have had the misfortune, as he
told me he had, of losing $500 on bets
made that Powell would be elected. The
only thing said about my plurality was
in answer to a question, by him, az to
how great it would be, and l told him /
had not given any attention whatever to
the returns; that l had been engaged all
day in answering my mail. which had
been accommodating. The only allusion
to the presidency was aquestion, by him,
as to whether / thought we would elect a
republican president next year. / an
swered in the affirmative. No reference
was made, whatever, to the subject of
candidates. So far as l am personally
concerned, it is well known by all my
friends, and l had hoped by everybody
else, that | I'm not a candidate for any
thing; that / hope to see Ohio send a
solid delegation to the national conven-
ton to support the candidacy of Senator
Sherman. Anything aid everything that
a do in that behalf win be done

The New York socialists.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE parade of
socialists, intended as q protest against
the hanging of the Chicago anarch-
ists, was a peaceable affair. About
8, 600 men turned out. Two hundred
policemen accompanied the procession,
and the police reserves were held In
readiness at the various station houses in
case of trouble. The procession WAS ac-
.companied by three bands of music, with
muff1ed drums; many red flags, draped
with black we're carried. The line of
march was down Broadway to Vezy,
and thence through Park Row and
Bowery to Union square, where a meet
ing was held, at which resolutions, con-
demning the execution of the condemned
men, were passed. Herr Most and other
noted anarchists :vere expected to speak
at the meeting, but this part OF the pro-
gramme was abandoned. The police
think that il there had been any fiery
speeches there might. have been trouble.
There were q few black flags carried, as
well as red ones, and ON Transparent
cies bearing such notices as Eye Sons of
Toll Awake to Glory, y "Gallows Against
Liberty aBeware the Insurrection, -
etc. The Police escort did not march
directly with the procession. One de-
tachment moved through parallel streets
just within sight, while another followed
quite a distance behind in Broadway.
Thelidea of the authorities seemed to be
to avoid all appearance of obtruded npon
the paraders. The demonstration was
distinctively one of silent protest. The
mournful music and the absence of all
shouting or disorder produced an unique
effect. When the procession reached the
city hall park at formed in the plaza
before the hall, and the mass stood
silently for a while, until the word was
given to 10Y on. A syrong reserve
force of police were distr ,bu,ed in the
neighboriug easements and cellars. and
they looked out at the singnlar(gatherins
with curiosity aud some Apprehension.
Not the slightest Disturbance however

a ~sorrowful seene.

CHICAGO, Nov. 11.-Gretchen Spies
and her aged mother were chatting pleas
sntly with Capt. Black in his Office, when
Editor Buchanan walked in, pale and
breathless, and announced the governors
decision. "Are they going to murder
my brother" asked Spies pretty sister
in a voice that trembled with emotion
.'The governor declines to interfere with
the sentence of the law in his case y was
the answer All the courage fled with the
color from her checks, and before
a hand could be extended, she sank
upon the floor, and burst into a torrent
OF tears. Her old mother, who under.
stands but little English, and who had
not caught the real import of the dread
full news Buchanan brought with him,
sank down beside her and mingled her
tears with those of her daughter The
latter tried, between her sobs, to break
the news as quietly as possibly to the old
lady, but when she understood that her
son was to die her grief was well nigh
uncomfortable. sob, my August, my
August, my beautiful boy, they will
murder you The assassins, the
law will take your life,' she
moaned in her heart broken accents.
Editor Buchanan, with tears in
his eyes turned away from the scene and
left Mr.. Black and his wife to admins
ter such comfort to the stricken woman
as they could. When her first outburst
Of grief WAS over Miss Spies slowly arose,
and drying her eyes, helped her
mother to stand up, and then, with
the assistance of the other ladies,
led her to a chair, where she cried and
sobbed as if her heart would break.
After Capt. Black recovered from the
shock, he began to devise ways and
means to save his clients. 1--WE must
act promptly" he said. Buchanan
and | must go to Springfield tonight
with the material we have, and urge the
the governor to grant US a reprieve for
thirty days, ten days, fve days, for any
length of time. Time we must have and
the governor must give it to u.s." The
editor bowed his acquiescence and then
the two entered a private Office where
they had q conferences.
